please help me :) Which expression is equivalent to 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 × 2? A.) 10 B.) 2 to the 5 power C.) 4 to the 2 power D.) 5 to the 2 power

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

We are talking about exponents here, which is the power to which a number is raised. What does it mean to raise a number to a power? It means to multiply it a certain number times.

For example, 3 to the the 3rd power is 27 because you multiply 3 three times (3×3×3), giving you 27.

We have 2×2×2×2×2. We see that we have the number 2 and need to raise it to a certain power. Since there are 5 2s, we are raising to the 5th power.

Therefore, the answer is B.) 2 to the 5 power.

Have a wonderful day! :D
